The Healing Power of Moxibustion Therapy
Moxibustions is a warm therapy using moxa made from dried mugwort (Artimisia argyi) and plays a very important role in the traditional medical systems of Asian cultures including China, Korea, Japan, Vietnam, and Mongolia. Historians agree that moxibustion has been performed for thousands of years, its history believed to be longer than that of acupuncture.

Acupuncture is Proven Helpful for Pain Relief
In a recent analysis published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, researchers concluded that acupuncture has a definite effect in reducing chronic pain, such as back pain and headaches – more so than standard pain treatment.

Think Twice Before Surgery for Weight Loss
Weight loss surgery may seem like a quick fix to shed pounds, especially in extreme cases where morbid obesity poses significant health risks. However, bariatric surgery is major surgery and with it comes hefty risks. This is true for both types of bariatric surgery, gastric banding and the more invasive gastric bypass. Gastric banding consists of surgically inserting a band around the top section of your stomach, and cinching it into a small pouch. Whereas gastric banding is at least reversible, while gastric bypass is not, the complications are often so debilitating that patients opt to have the bands removed completely.
